They used to have microSD..
Who needs a micro SD when you can pay a subscription cloud service for the rest of your life???? - morons responding to me every time I lament the need for an SD card
Not to mention if your screen gets fucked you can remove the card and have all your photos / movies instantly
Why not both! I love SD but its also pretty handy I can access photos from my PC without needing any further action (I refer mostly to OneDrive right now) SD still rules tho.
This drives me crazy. An iPhone 15 pro max with 256gb of storage is 1199 and the 512gb is 1399.
So $200 for an extra 256gb. Meanwhile a fast, name brand, 1tb micro SD card is about $100.
That's the Apple business model.
Run out of storage? We have a subscription for that!
Up-selling is the game. Especially if you have something to repair, they will happily quote you close to half of the price of new device so you go "ah, then I might as well buy a new one".
That Android phones haven't hesitated to adopt... Sadly.
Not all of them, but yes, sadly it has become a trend.
Well at least on android you have a choice (iirc Fariphone 5 has an SD-card slot)
True, and hopefully most brands adopt this way.
They still do. My 2021 model phone has dual SIM, with one of the slots being enabled for either a SIM card or a SD card.
Many if not most new models don't have them though
Phones that use those are still relatively easy to find tho.
